The n in black lifted their crossbows, and the arrows ard in them glowed in a ghastly red.
Zhao Qing Ying frowned as he knew imdiately who they were.
Who else but the army of Emperor Quan Shi would have such weaponry.
The Qing Feng Sect disciples held their swords warily as they were heavily outnumbered.
There were only about thirty of them left after the long battles.
Facing such a huge difference in numbers, Zhao Qing Ying decided to retreat back into the caves.
They were, after all, more familiar with the caves than the soldiers.
"Retreat back into the caves." He gave the order, and the Qing Feng Sect disciples imdiately retreated.
"Fire at will!" General Liu Feng gave the order when he saw the Qing Feng Sect disciples going back into the dark caves.
A volley of arrows shot at the Qing Feng Sect disciples.
Boom.
The arrows had scriptures on them, and explosions ensued when they hit the rocky walls and caves.
Huo Ren Yi was on his way getting away when suddenly the jar on his back rocked violently.
"What's the matter, my lord?" It was unusual for the Dark Lord to have such a visceral reaction.
"I can feel it. They have my imperial seal. We must try to get it." The Dark Lord's voice erupted from within the jar.
"The imperial seal? But who could have it?" Huo Ren Yi asked.
"It's there. I can sense it calling out to . I must get back what is rightfully mine." The Dark Lord's voice shouted as he got anxious.
Huo Ren Yi stopped, put down the jar onto the ground and said, "Wait for here, my lord. I shall get it done."
Usually, the Dark Lord would have confidence in his ability, but not this ti.
The imperial seal was too important for him.
"Use the regenerative essence extracted by Li Rong; I shall go with you." The Dark Lord said after a mont of silence.
"But my lord... You wouldn't be at your full strength if you do so..." Huo Ren Yi said.
Trying his best to dissuade the Dark Lord.
Imdiately, Huo Ren Yi felt a force making him kneel onto the ground.
The Dark Lord wasn't happy with him.
"Just do as I say!"
"I'm sorry, my lord." Huo Ren Yi apologized profusely and did what he was told.
He took out a bottle and opened the jar.
Inside the jar, the liquid with flesh and tissue swirled around with glee.
Huo Ren Yi opened the bottle and poured the droplets of regenerative essence into it.
The jar and its contents began shaking violently.
Organs appeared out of the liquid and disappeared into it again.
First it was a hand, then a leg and so other organs.
Finally, the jar broke into pieces and the liquid poured all over onto the ground.
A figure appeared sitting on the ground.
The sky was covered in dark clouds suddenly.
Lightning strikes ca down onto where the figure was.
It was as if the heavens were trying to right a wrong.
Huo Ren Yi went over, hovered over the figure, and used his body to absorb the lightning strike.
Thud.
When the lightning strike hit, Huo Ren Yi's body turned bright and shined like the sun.
His veins and organs could be seen as the energy from the lightning wreaked havoc in his body.
Soon, it was too much even for Huo Ren Yi.
He knelt down and coughed out blood.
Smoke rose from his body, and a charred sll of flesh filled the air.
The next mont, the dark clouds disappeared, and the sun ca out again.
It was over just as quickly as it had happened.
The figure opened his eyes and stood up.
He looked like a young man in his twenties.
If Lin Fan was around, he would recognize the face to be familiar.
The figure looked like a younger version of Li Yong, the last Emperor of the Xuan Dynasty.
The figure was the Dark Lord, Li Hai, who was also incidentally the son of Li Yong.
All that he had done was to get back control of his country from the Quan Emperor.
And to accomplish that, the imperial seal was of utmost importance to him.
With it, he could command and get people to join him.
"Dark Lord... I'm afraid I can't..." Huo Ren Yi tried to get up, but his injuries were too deadly.
He rolled over and lay onto his back.
Li Hai's face entered his vision with a calm expression.
However, his vision blurred the next mont, and Huo Ren Yi found it hard to keep his eyes open. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire
"Rest here. Let get back my imperial seal." Li Hai said and walked towards the caves.
Huo Ren Yi mumbled, trying to stop Li Hai but couldn't.
What ca out was a soft murmur that no one could hear.
...
Inside the cave.
Lin Fan, Ho Ming, Lee Xiao, and Tai Lan waited patiently behind a huge column.
Five n in black were searching around for Qing Feng Sect disciples.
They held their swords in one hand and a crossbow in the other.
When the five n in black walked past the column, Lin Fan nodded, and they sprung out from the column.
The sound of their movents alerted the five n.
Imdiately, they got into action.
The man in front of Lin Fan turned and tried to shoot his crossbow at him.
But Lin Fan was too fast for him.
Boom.
Lin Fan's punch broke through the air, and the head of the man in black was turned into a blood mist.
The other four n weren't any better as they got ripped apart by twirling wind strikes from Ho Ming, Lee Xiao, and Tai Lan.
Lin Fan shook his head at the stupidity of the Emperor Quan Shi.
All the aningless death for nothing.
He was in his thoughts when sothing unexpected happened.
His toad statue shook violently.
Lin Fan took it out to check on it.
A man stepped out of the darkness and said, "I believe you have sothing in it that belongs to ."
A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind.
